"You say 70% of Tea Baggers are Republican, but what percentage of Republicans comprises Tea Baggers?"

"Tea baggers" are repulsive scrotum suckes.

Deep in their hearts they know that the REAL te-bagging is disgusting, repulsive and unnatural, that is why they try to besmirch TEA PARTIERS with the derogative and disgusting label.

Just goes to show that desperate people do and say desperate and ridiculous things.

Now here I am only guessing. However, about 30% Republicans constitute the Republican base, and most of them are enthusiastic Tea Party supporters. So my guess would be 25 to 30% of Republicans.

And don't hold me to that 70% figure, I remember seeing an opinion poll a while ago. It could be more, it could be less. But the point is, a great majority of teabaggers are Republicans.

Scrotum-suckers they may be, but that still does not answer the question: are 'Tea Bagger' and 'Republican' synonymous terms.

Let me put it this way. A Republican is not necessarily a teabagger (e.g nobody in his right mind would call Senator McCain a teabagger). However, a teabagger is very likely a Republican.

I have already explained here that I use teabagger purely as a short form for tea party supporter. I am not going to keep belabouring the point, believe as you wish.

Name calling is one of the surest ways of losing credibility, especially when the "name" used is disgusting.

Tea party touts 'Maryland miracle'
Charles Lorrar will be running against House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. But Lollar has one more unique attribute: He’s an African-American tea partier.

An African American teabagger is rare, but by no means unknown. Same as black Fundamentalists are rare, but by no means unknown. In deed, in the south some black Fundamentalist preachers support the white racist candidates against Democrats.

So yes, a black teabagger would be rare, but by no means unheard of. It will be interesting to see how many black votes he gets.

Arizona Senate OKs bill that allows refusal of service to gays




The Arizona Senate has passed a Republican-backed bill that expands the rights of people to assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays and others.

Democrats and civil rights groups opposed the bill being pushed by social conservatives, saying it would allow discriminatory actions by businesses.

You don't want freedom of religion?
If you mean unlimited freedom to do whatever stupid, cruel, insane sh*t you want because your fantasy Daddy in the sky says so, no.

How 'bout you? Do you want radical Muslims to be free to murder and torture because Allah says to?

Freedom of religion is important.

So is freedom FROM religion.

That said, if you own a business and don't want to serve gays then fine, don't serve them. Just don't get pissy if said gays tell friends and family your business is run by biggoted, fearful a$$holes and not to do business there. And their friends and family spread that. If your business suffers, well... too bad, people don't have to buy there afterall.

If your religion is more important than your business, then maybe you shouldn't BE in business anyway.

And as pointed out - saying this is walking a dangerous road. After all, if Allah says it's okay to do "thus" (and let's say it's oh... forced marriage at 12 years old), by your own words, it's okay for it to happen because their religion says so.

Wait, that's not right? Too bad, it's their 'freedom of religion', you can't stop it.
